Noki is a utility to explore and extract Phone book, SMS, Calendar, Memo, Bookmark and other user files from the backup file of Nokia phone (using Nokia PC Suite).

" With Noki you can just use your data the way you want. " - review by3d2f.com

The Noki-extracted info can be saved in text, Excel .xls, .csv or Html file which is much accessible than the original binary format (.nfc, .nfb or .nbu). Other files extracted (3gp, image, photo, mp3, mp4 etc) will remain their original format.

"Softpedia guarantees that Noki 1.5 is 100% CLEAN, which means it does not contain any form of malware, including but not limited to: spyware, viruses, trojans and backdoors. This software product was tested thoroughly and was found absolutely clean, therefore it can be installed with no concern by any computer user."

"Noki is worthy our 5 Stars Quality Award and was rated accordingly. The software rating goes through several phases and many factors are taken into consideration when testing: performance, ease of use, functionality and user feedback."

"I heard of your development (to take care of problems with incompatibility that Nokia themselves cannot). And do you know from who....? From the Nokia support people!"

Thanks Mr. Richter from Sweden for this kindly note.

download25.com gives Noki a 5 stars award:"We are pleased to inform you that your software Noki has been awarded by our editors with "5 stars" Rating Award. This decision was taken after downloading and testing your product.

Great job, we're really impressed!"- Nick Stewart (senior editor of download25.com)11.22 2007:Noki is used in cell phones forensic investigation:"My company does computer forensic investigations, which has branched out to cell phones recently ... I used your tool to extract the data from the backup so we could review the data on the phone (looking for call logs, pictures, etc). " Thanks Mr. Read.

11.14 2007:3d2f.com just published a smart review named Opening Nokia on Noki:"we have Nokia PC Suite, which can easily make *backup* of all data from the phone, but it’s still hard to *explore and use* these data. Noki software gracefully solves the problem, being a bridge between Nokia PC Suite’s binary formats and common file formats like text, Excel worksheets and so on."thanks Helen and the creative team of 3d2f.com.

If Noki fails to read .nbu file, pressing Ctrl + F1 will generate a bug report (in trace.txt). You can email this small trace.txt to help to fix the bug.

6) Compatibility test with the latest version (6.5 to 6.85) of Nokia PC Suite.

Please complain if you find the user interface is awkward, non-intuitive or just not smooth. New feature suggestions are still welcomed and will be developed for later versions.

Note: for old backup file format .nfb or .nfc, only phone book and short message conversion to text is available.

How to use

To extract phonebook, sms, calendar and memo into a single text file:

There're four types of backup file supported by Noki: 1).nbu for PC Suite since v6.82; 2).nfb and .nfc for previous version;3).cdb is the contacts database for Symbian phones (Contacts.cdb in C:\System\Data\).

1. [Browse...] to open the backup file which you'd saved using Nokia PC Suite.

2. All the four supported formats (.nbu, .nfb, .nfc and .cdb ) are listed by default; you can change the type filter to narrow down the number of files to show.

3.[Save As...] to convert phone book, SMS, calendar or memo to txt, xls or html file. The default name is 'current-date'; rename if necessary. Chose preferred file type in the type filter:

4. Click [Save] to start the conversion. The converted txt will be opened in Notepad if success.

Now the extracted text is ready for editing, saving, sharing and printing.

1.[Browse...] to open the backup file which you'd saved using Nokia PC Suite.

2. There'll be a directory tree slide down (on the left) to show the content. You can begin to explore: single click to show the thumbnails (on the right) for previewing, double click to extract or right click on selected file(s) to choose action from the popped menu, the menu may have actions like:1) convert selected item(s) into text file(s)2) merge all selected items into a single text file3) merge all selected items into a single xls file4) merge all selected items into a single html file5) extract selected items - remain their own format.

3. Image files (jpg, gif, png, bmp and ico) can be previewed in the thumbnail list left to the directory tree.

Multi Selection

You can multi select interested items by hold-and-drag the mouse and right click to bring up the action menu. The popped menu is context sensitive - selecting different items might lead to different actions can performed:

Note: If you just want to get all text info (phonebook, sms, calendar and memo) in one shot, click [Save as...] button is much faster than multiple selection.

Compatibility

Noki is targeted to support all versions of PC Suite from v6.5 to v6.85. But it might fail due to the compatibility between different phone models and different versions of PC Suite - it's hard to perform a thorough test for all of them.

Please kindly send the failed backup file to me for further analysis and following information is preferred:1) phone model2) version number of Nokia PC Suite3) the backup file(.nfc, .nfb or .nbu)

Phone models tested

Though pc suite backup file format should not concern with phone models, the reality is that we have to test to make sure:
